commit 67ab51cbdfee02ef07fb9d7d14cc0bf6cb5a5e5c upstream.

Commit 18011eac28c7 ("arm64: tls: Avoid unconditional zeroing of
tpidrro_el0 for native tasks") tried to optimise the context switching
of tpidrro_el0 by eliding the clearing of the register when switching
to a native task with kpti enabled, on the erroneous assumption that
the kpti trampoline entry code would already have taken care of the
write.

Although the kpti trampoline does zero the register on entry from a
native task, the check in tls_thread_switch() is on the *next* task and
so we can end up leaving a stale, non-zero value in the register if the
previous task was 32-bit.

Drop the broken optimisation and zero tpidrro_el0 unconditionally when
switching to a native 64-bit task.

<title>arm64: errata: Fix exec handling in erratum 1418040 workaround</title>

commit 38e0257e0e6f4fef2aa2966b089b56a8b1cfb75c upstream.

The erratum 1418040 workaround enables CNTVCT_EL1 access trapping in EL0
when executing compat threads. The workaround is applied when switching
between tasks, but the need for the workaround could also change at an
exec(), when a non-compat task execs a compat binary or vice versa. Apply
the workaround in arch_setup_new_exec().

This leaves a small window of time between SET_PERSONALITY and
arch_setup_new_exec where preemption could occur and confuse the old
workaround logic that compares TIF_32BIT between prev and next. Instead, we
can just read cntkctl to make sure it's in the state that the next task
needs. I measured cntkctl read time to be about the same as a mov from a
general-purpose register on N1. Update the workaround logic to examine the
current value of cntkctl instead of the previous task's compat state.

[ Upstream commit 9fcb2e93f41c07a400885325e7dbdfceba6efaec ]

__stack_chk_guard is setup once while init stage and never changed
after that.

Although the modification of this variable at runtime will usually
cause the kernel to crash (so does the attacker), it should be marked
as __ro_after_init, and it should not affect performance if it is
placed in the ro_after_init section.

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
 "I'm sad to say that we've got an unusually large arm64 fixes pull for
  rc7 which addresses numerous significant instrumentation issues with
  our entry code.

  Without these patches, lockdep is hopelessly unreliable in some
  configurations [1,2] and syzkaller is therefore not a lot of use
  because it's so noisy.

  Although much of this has always been broken, it appears to have been
  exposed more readily by other changes such as 044d0d6de9f5 ("lockdep:
  Only trace IRQ edges") and general lockdep improvements around IRQ
  tracing and NMIs.

  Fixing this properly required moving much of the instrumentation hooks
  from our entry assembly into C, which Mark has been working on for the
  last few weeks. We're not quite ready to move to the recently added
  generic functions yet, but the code here has been deliberately written
  to mimic that closely so we can look at cleaning things up once we
  have a bit more breathing room.

  Having said all that, the second version of these patches was posted
  last week and I pushed it into our CI (kernelci and cki) along with a
  commit which forced on PROVE_LOCKING, NOHZ_FULL and
  CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE. The result? We found a real bug in the
  md/raid10 code [3].

  Oh, and there's also a really silly typo patch that's unrelated.

  Summary:

   - Fix numerous issues with instrumentation and exception entry

   - Fix hideous typo in unused register field definition"

Core code disables RCU when calling arch_cpu_idle(), so it's not safe
for arch_cpu_idle() or its calees to be instrumented, as the
instrumentation callbacks may attempt to use RCU or other features which
are unsafe to use in this context.

Mark them noinstr to prevent issues.

The use of local_irq_enable() in arch_cpu_idle() is similarly
problematic, and the "sched/idle: Fix arch_cpu_idle() vs tracing" patch
queued in the tip tree addresses that case.

<content type='text'>
In a surprising turn of events, it transpires that CPU capabilities
configured as ARM64_CPUCAP_WEAK_LOCAL_CPU_FEATURE are never set as the
result of late-onlining. Therefore our handling of erratum 1418040 does
not get activated if it is not required by any of the boot CPUs, even
though we allow late-onlining of an affected CPU.

In order to get things working again, replace the cpus_have_const_cap()
invocation with an explicit check for the current CPU using
this_cpu_has_cap().
